When you run a knife sharpening business by mail, Christmas never ends. Each visit from the mail man or the UPS guy with another box of dull knives reminds me of opening presents on Christmas morning. Even though you have a pretty good idea of what may be inside, you never know for sure!
Sometimes the boxes I get may contain an expensive German made chef's knife or maybe a finely crafted custom hunting knife, but often it is just a seemingly ordinary, run of the mill knife that to the casual observer, is just another knife. But often it is just these types of knives that can be the most valuable of all. Perhaps they were handed down to you from a family member, or given as a gift to commemorate a special occasion. Or you may have purchased them with little thought, but through their constant use in the kitchen or the field they have become more than just tools.
Every knife has a story and I'd love to hear yours. http://www.KySharp.com/
